Truitt, AX INTERESTING QUESTION. A Mandamus Suit to Compel the County Commissioners to Improves Road. D. N. Carlisle has begun proceedings in mandamus in the district court against the county commissioners of Wyandotte county.

"The petition asks that the county commissioners be ordered by thecourt to appoint three commissioners to superintend the improvement of the D. N. Carlisle road in Shawnee according to Section 4, Chapter 214, laws of 1887. The affidavit which accompanies the petition recites that the Carlisle road is 60 feet wide, running north and south on the section line of sections 18 and 19 and 30, in Shawnee township, and beginning at the west end of Strong avenue in Armourdale running west on the line of the land owned by Henry and August Boeke. The affidavit further relates that in January, 1888, that a petition prepared according to all the provisions of the law governing suen cases was presented to the county commissioners, that they ordered the county surveyor to draw plans and specifications for the improvement of the road, that on April 23, the specifications were duly presented to the board who deferred action until April 30, and that at the latter dater they deferred action indefinitely.

Owing to their failure to act the affidavit alleges that the commissioners have neglected their duty, and the court is asked to afford the necessary relief. This suit will open up an interesting point of law when it comes before the court for hearing. The commissioners will offer for their defense the fact that the county is unable to pay out of the general fund of the county the one-third of the cost of all the road improvements that are being made. Over $40,000 will be due on January 1, 1889 out of the general fund for road improvements, and it will be necessary to fund the debt as there will be no money with which to pay it. The commissioners think that no more roads should be improved this year as the cost to the county is already too great.

Literally, the law is peremptory to the effect that the commissioners shall proceed to appoint commissioners who shall improve roads whenever petitioned to do so legally. Whether they have the right to exercise any authority as to how much the county shall become indebted for work of this kind, is a question which this suit will no doubt determine.

2592. tf Miss Sue Grinter, who has been visit ing Miss Lulu Bowling, returned to her THIRD) PARTY THUNDER. An Ex-Rebel Advises Republicans to Desert Their Party. Rev. Hughes, of the Lydia avenue Christian church, of Kansas City, made a third party speech at the" Christian church on Barnett Etreet last night to a good sized audience.

However much the reverend gentleman may be interested in the oause of temperance he evidently thinks that the way to promote its -interests is to abuse the republican party. Mr. Hughes made the statement that he was born a rebel, was nourished by rebel milk at a rebel breast, had fought valiantly for the rebel cause, and that when the news of Lee's surrender reached him he felt that he could not live by reason of the defeat of the Confederacy. He said that he had net voted since 1872 except for those great reformers, Samuel J. Tilden, in 1876, and John Peter St John in 1884 The burden of his speech was abuse of the republican party.

He accused it of pandering to the whisky element, and characterized it as the free whisky party. He said that if Harrison is elected, and in his opinion it looks as if he would be, it would be done by the whisky power. He gave as a reason for not censuring the democratic party on the same line and on the same grounds that nothing could be expected from that organization. He made the startling statement that a man conld get drunk occasionally in Missouri, but could keep drunk all the time in Kansas, a prohibition state, under republican rule. He declared that the third party is in favor of free trade, and gave the stereotyped arguments in favor of that policy.

His address was closed with an appeal to republican temperance men to abandon their party and vote for Fiske and Brooks but strange ly enough did not tender such advice to temperance democrats. During his remarks he denied the statement that Rev. Brooks, the third party candidate for vice-president, had said that he thanked God that he had never been a republican. He said that what Rev. Brooks did say, was that he had been a rebel and had repented, that he had been a democrat and had repented, but he thanked God that he had never been a republican, as he would have had that sin to repent for, also.

At the close an attempt was made to effect a third party organization in this city, and ten ladies and six men submitted their names for membership. JOHN SMITH'S LETTERS.

Mr. F. C. Child, secretary of the Y. M.

C. A. of this city, has submitted the following report of his work for the months of June and July: To the Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association. Gentlemen: Your secretary would respectfully beg to submit the following short report for the months of June and July. The first half of the month of June was spent principally in becoming acquainted with the work and the men connected with it.

The last half of the month was spent at the state Bible school held at Ottawa, Kas. Nine of our members were present but only five staid through the whole session of the school. There is no doubt but what those who had the privilege of attending derived great benefit and should a similar school be carried on next year, I would urge upon this board the importance of inducing as many of our young men as possible to attend. During the month of July your secretary has put most of his effort along the line of organization, his object being to so form and set to work the various com-mitteesi so as each man would be made responsible for some duty and hence feel that he has a dart in the real life of the assooiation. To this end I have sought to lay most of the detail work upon the committeemen, that I myself might have more time of the planning and general management of the work as a whole.

That I have not been wholly unsuccessful in this attempt the reports of the various committees will show. All the committees except two have met during the past month, organized and elected their secretaries and laid plans for future work. Most of the committeemen are entering upon their respective duties with a willingness and earnestness that is very commendable. Below are statistics for June and July: BELIGIO C9 WORE. Total Are.

The State Journal, at Topeka, in its Friday issue, pays a very handsome and deserved compliment to Gen. D.

E. Cornell, of this city. The Gazette takes pleasure in republishing the article, to which it adds its hearty endorsement. The Journal says: General D. E.

Cornell, of Kansas City, Kansas, is a member of the executive committee of the republican state central committee, and is in the city on committee business. General Cornell is an old Kansan, having been identified as a general officer with the Kansas Pacific railway for about twenty years, while it was an independent company, and after it beccame a part of the Union Pacific, up to the time of the radical changes made by the late Mr. Potter. Gen. Cornell is now a man of wealth and leisure and is enjoying his opportunities to gratify his natural tastes for taking part in political affairs.

He has been several times mayor of Wyandotte, was a general of state troops, and has done a great deal of quiet though, substantial political work. He is a relative of Ex-Governor Cornell, of New York, and is a New Yorker by birth. He has a fine library and a great collection of literary and historical curiosities, and he has the keenest possible love for good books, good schools, bright men, sound politics and right things generally. His well known all round liberality has always extended to contributions to the republican party and an ardent participation in its work. He has done as much as almost any man in the state to assist in building up her institutions and fixing her status where it should be.

Nobody ever knew "Corney," as he is called, but to love him. The republican party is in luck to have such a man on her executive committee. The fact that the Splitlog orchard is at last platted and in the market and that, too at figures about half or a third of those asked for East Side property miles away from the business centers, is causing not a little flutter among those who "for years and years' have wished there were some means of getting a little of that particular ground for a home. All this is now possible, and Mr. Husted and his salesmen are kept busy answering the questions of those who have long had an eye in that direction and know a good thing when they see it.
